One of my fellow Indies Chicks is a woman after my own heart. She’s a late bloomer… just like me. We’ve reached ‘a certain age’ and I think the whole age thing empowers you. You realise that there is so much yet to achieve and come hell or high water, you going to have a go at achieving it. Linda Welch says it’s …
Jane Austen’s birthday rapidly approaches in December and rather the way that Christmas stirs the hearts of millions, so does ‘anything Austen’. What I have been introduced to with the Austen Games takes appreciation of ‘anything Austen’ to a whole new level. Intrigued, curious, I contacted the ideas-people in New York and Connecticut and quizzed them on this startling and highly interactive concept.
Most readers know of the power of the phoenix, its ability to re-create itself out of flame in a dire situation. 
Lizzy Ford’s life has been filled with such darkness but her unerring strength is her ability to be reborn, to struggle on, to reinvent… better and stronger ever time. Lizzy is one of my fellow Indie chicks and I leave her to tell you her story.
In the past, I’ve done a couple of posts on old books that are in my home library. I went waaaay back the other day and opened the bottom of the cedar bookcase to look at my children’s books and found my first ever cardboard book
, a brightly illustrated Golly and Teddy story with obligatory spiral binding (circa 1951). It’s actually coped with the rigours of usage quite well, perhaps due to the thickness of the cardboard (NB: and of course Gollies are now politically incorrect.)
I first met Jennifer Stevenson

On House…
There is a little place by the sea that we call House.
Those who know me know that it is the place in which I feel most comfortable. That it is where I am content.
How is it that a place can make you feel so? Those who study the human psyche say that one should feel confident and happy anywhere, that being anchored to one place is unhealthy and shows lack of resilience and strength.
the second of the Indie chicks to reveal herself online. I leave her to tell you her story:I was researching some detail for Gisborne yesterday and on a wonderful site, Writing the Medieval World, they had used an image for one post from 
Très Riches Heures by the Limbourg Brothers for the Duc de Berry.
As you know, I was invited to join a special project called the Indie Chicks. It’s an anthology of true inspirational stories from 25 female indie authors (as well as a sample of one of each woman’s books). All the proceeds (every bit) are being donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to help support their search for the cure to breast cancer.
